Radioactivity
Radioactivity is the spontaneous disintegration of
atomic nuclei which possess excess energy. This
energy is ejected by charged particles (α-particles which
are helium nuclei or β-particles which are electrons) or
photons (γ-rays).

Radioactivity

Radioactivity is the spontaneous disintegration of atomic nuclei which possess excess energy. This energy is ejected by charged particles (α-particles which are helium nuclei or β-particles which are electrons) or photons (γ-rays).

Rules for Radioactive Decay:

  1. Atomic Mass Number, A, must be conserved.
  2. Atomic Number, Z, must be conserved.
  3. Energy must be conserved.
  4. Linear momentum must be conserved.
  5. Angular momentum must be conserved.
